Canada Olympics questions from USA
 
The questions were posted to an international information site by
Looney/Flatulent Jim/Ditzy Dan types from the US. Smart alec answers
provided for amusement.

Now that Vancouver is hosting the 2010 Winter Olympics, these are some
questions people from all over the world are asking.

Believe it or not these questions about Canada were posted on an
International Tourism Website.

Obviously the answers are a joke; but the questions were really asked!

Q: Will I be able to see Polar Bears in the street? ( USA )
A: Depends on how much you've been drinking

Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Canada ? ( USA )
A: A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe Ca-na-da
is that big country to your North...oh forget it. Sure, the hippo racing is
every Tuesday night in Calgary Come naked.

Q: Which direction is North in Canada ? ( USA )
A: Face south and then turn 180 degrees Contact us when you get here and
we'll send the rest of the directions

Q: Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule? ( USA )
A: Aus-t ri-a is that quaint little country bordering Ger-man-y, which
is...oh forget it. Sure, the Vienna Boys Choir plays every Tuesday night in

Q: I have developed a new product that is the fountain of youth. Where can
I sell it in Canada ? ( USA )

Q: Will I be able to speak English most places I go? ( USA )
A: Yes, but you will have to learn it first.

Wow, it does seem that your entire country suffers from a severe case of
inferiority complex.

What's it like to know you are nothing more than an unwanted stepsister.

Not right. Depends where int eh US you are. That can get you lost.
Magneting north is not geo north. If you are in say Alaska, north on a
compass is more east than north. There is actually a zone where the
compass will read south yet you are going north.

Ya, I know, too hard for Harry, an American to understand. Sarah Palin
would, she has seen more of the US than most Americans and knows the US
does not begin in NY at Citibank and ends in GM-Detriot with a blow hard
at Harvard.

I have heard this stereotypes about stereotypes from Canadians.
And it does speaks volumes about Canadian inferiority complex.
I often did ask them (with obviouse sarcasm) if they live in a igloo
and than I watch them
defending their county with a foam around their mouth.
and THAT it's trully hillariouse.

Then some questions may be legit.
Will I be able to speak English most places I go?
Obviously the person meant to "communicate"
(By the way not everyone in the USA native english speaker)
Would you be able to communicate in Swedish most places you go in
Finland? (a country
with two languages as well???)
Most Canadians won't answer me that!

Anyhow this list is not the canadian humor as it has been cirulated
before with other countries.
Here is more on this list
http://www.snopes.com/travel/foreign/olympics.asp

By the way do you have Google in Canada.... seemd like no one on this
board know how to use it :)
Cheers.
P.S. Just so you don't misguide your verbal fury I am not American. I
am Russian.

Every time I've been in Canada I have tried to get an explicit
definition of "Smoked Meat." The answer from Canadians is always like,
its smoked meat.

I haven't been with anyone who ordered it and I haven't been brave
enough to order it myself.

There's nothing wrong with most Russians. I have a good friend going
to the St. Petersburg State University. Most Canadians I've met are
super people, with a great sense of humor.

But, there exists the rare exception to that rule.

Yep. While Microsoft gets this wrong with the keyboard layout,
Alt-Shift to fix you can do english.

In BC, the next most popular languages are chinese so bone up on Madarin
or Cantonese.

(By the way not everyone in the USA native english speaker)


True, but spanish and *******ized french will not work in BC.

Would you be able to communicate in Swedish most places you go in

I could, verbally yes. Written and in small town TV stations with not
english, no way.

Funny. I did have Americans looking for the ski hill in July once, I
pointed to it, looked at their car with jackets, boots in the back and
skis on the top, fell down laughing my ass off, it was 90F in the shade.

By the way do you have Google in Canada.... seemd like no one on this

Sure do, use google all the time:
